Good polar alignment is essential to get the best results. And take lots of sub so have enough data to work with in Photoshop. If you are short of data, when you try and stretch it, you just get noise. Keep at it and it will fall into place. -

About 40 or 50x 90 sec @ ISO800 with 30 darks, 30 T-shirt flats, and 50 Bias frames. I made a duplicate image and did a less agressive histogram stretch for the core region and then layered it back into the second image which had the full stretch to bring out the fainter details. -

Thanks. This was loads of short 90sec exposures. Then using Deep Sky Stacker, I combined the images to produce one single image with a lot more detail than the originals on their own. During this stacking process, I selected just the centre part of the image and used 3x drizzle, which basically zooms the image 3x larger, but more acurately than simply resizing in Photoshop. -
